When it comes to adding a finish to your fencing products, choose a powder coating. In the past, liquid finishing was often used on products, but over the years research has found that liquid finishing contains solvents. These solvents have pollutants called volatile organic compounds. VOC’s can cause damage to our atmosphere and increase our carbon footprint. When you use powder coating, you have the peace of mind knowing that solvents are not pound and therefore no damage is caused to the environment. Powder coating is also able to be recovered if excess is used to reduce waste. Any unused or retrieved product can be stored and reused in future projects. Powder coating is pollution free and friendly for the environment, so U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations are easy to uphold and meet.
Powder coating also lasts longer, making your fence look better for longer. It also cuts down on maintenance. At Hercules Fence Custom Iron, we offer an in house powder coating process that is state of the art, guaranteeing only the best results. We are able to use powder coating to finish projects like fences, gates, and railings, with the ability to produce enough powder to coat unusually shaped and sized projects. Material that is about to be coated with a powder coating is sand-blasted to leave a bare and smooth metal finish to allow the coating to adhere better. Our technicians will then use a sealer to prevent any rusting from occurring. A zinc rich primer is then applied to the material to ensure the best finish possible, with the polyester coating following.
